24 MIDWEEK FEBRUARY 3, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 14, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 14, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Our actions have unexpected consequences this week. Power can be yours! But what will you do with it? Hmm. Let’s just see ...
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
While you may feel particularly hemmed in by your current living arrange- ments, any action you take to change it should be done with careful fore- thought and planning. Aquarians yearn to expand their vision and embrace the world. Sometimes that has to be done in the confines of one’s room. One small step at a time will soon get you to the front door.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
If you have a worthwhile idea — or five — get ready to share your thoughts with the immediate world. You might have been stewing on these concepts for a while, Pisces. Now, you can now express yourself eloquently, with great force and impact. But sometimes whispering and sotto voce will have much greater impact than shouting. Try it.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries have their eyes on making money. Lots of it. Immediately. How will you do that so when you get the goods, you can hold onto as much of it as possible? There lies the mystery. My advice — take it slower than you think you need to, do a lot of research to see how little risk you need to take, build on your successes with a solid foundation and then, enjoy!
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
You are such a social firecracker now, Taurus, you amaze yourself with how popular you become in such a short time. What will you do with all of this charisma? Will you burn brightly and then fade into the background or will you use this oomph to take you to the highest heights? Figure out what you really want to get out of all this and then do it.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
As much as you may want to chill out in a mellow state, there will be things percolating in the background that makes your life a bit more energetic. Where is all that noise coming from, Gemini? Wait! All will be revealed now, as projects and people that you have nurtured over the months go forward on their own. Be prepared for action and harnessing it.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Cancers may want to join a new group or organization. If so, this is a good time to explore all of the possibilities. The more exclusive the club, the more you should prepare for it with a slow build and careful execution. Friends are there to help if you ask them. Build your social circle and see how you can rise to the top. Today, the local club. Tomorrow, the world.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
You can climb to the heights in any endeavor you choose, Leo. But be sure that is what you really want, because once you get going, there will be no stopping you. Focus carefully. Any long term plans and objectives suddenly seem more attainable and those in power seem to be listening to you very carefully. Power! Now what will you do with it?
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
If you have been feeling hemmed in and bored, this may be the time when you suddenly discover a range of new interests and possibilities. Good! Virgos are very detailed-oriented and can get caught up in the minutia. Try to think expansively and strategize where and how you can really feel free and enlivened. Maybe it will involve some travel. If so, do it safely.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Zesty Libras find that their love life is not only sizzling but also almost on fire. How can you best harness all of this allure so that it really brings you happiness? You can move any relationship to a new, hotter level. But don’t waste this ability on foolishness. Use it to construct a more perfect union.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
A certain relationship requires your full attention now, Scorpio, as things may go to a critical decision point. Maybe this is for business or maybe it is a family situation. Whatever it is, go forward with any new ideas or solutions carefully and strategically. This needs a cool approach and a diplomatic flair. I know you have all of that in abundance.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Work projects may be building up to a tipping point, Sagittarius. Before it
all comes crashing and you get totally buried, step back, have a look and prioritize them. Which ones have an expiration date? Which ones are critical? Speed alone will not solve all of them but a sense of urgency can’t hurt ...
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Fun can have a way of getting totally out of hand, Capricorn. That is a good thing. Life has certainly been one long slog and any way that you can creatively liven things up would be refreshing. Tap into your inspirations and see where they take you. There are activities that you can do from home that uplift your mood. Maybe it’s the body paint and Jell-O.
